See detailed pics of the shoe and find out what all the fuss
is about.
Says Nike:
Forging a new form of sport craftsmanship, the Nike Air Yeezy
II blends classic Nike court breakthroughs with the performance and aesthetic
demands of bringing hype to a crowd of thousands.
A primal, tactile approach to technology runs throughout every
element of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Armored animalistic forms imbue the upper.
Hand skived anaconda textured leather quarter panels are embellished with a
debossed Vac-Tech Nike Swoosh. The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian
inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed
to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down.
Bringing the inspiration
forward from the late 1980′s basketball foundation of the original Nike Air
Yeezy, the II is built on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II tennis shoe outsole and
celebrates iconic Nike Cross Training silhouettes with the addition of the
molded forefoot strap.
There’s absolute function at the Air Yeezy II’s core.
Unnecessary padding was eliminated, and the foot-hugging tongue and plush collar
are both comfortable and breathable. Fit was essential to the design with the
goal to make the shoe slimmer than the original by tailoring it to Kanye West’s
foot. The collar was also lowered to allow for greater movement.
An obsessive
approach to materials results in a luxurious mix of leather, rugged ballistic
nylon, and soft nubuck. Concealed but opulent details reference ancient
civilizations, including a loop strap with hieroglyphics that spell out ‘YZY.’
Each screw on lace aglet is obelisk shaped, and the anaconda texture is echoed
on the eyelets and leather lace toggle that carries the Roman numeral
‘II.’
The Nike Air Yeezy II in the Platinum and the Black edition
will release June 9th at select global retailers in limited
numbers.
Hopefully no one goes to jail or loses their life behind these
SHOES, but knowing these ninjas nowadays, we wouldn’t be surprised.
RUMOR CONTROL: Tyler Perry Says Bobbi Kristina DID NOT Have A
MELTDOWN On Set
Tyler Perry is responding to reports that Bobbi Kristina
stormed off the set of his "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" TBS show saying
that it never happened. Get the deets inside and find out why he's saying,
"LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE AND STOP THE LIES PLEASE!!!"
Folks have been spreading rumors that Bobbi Kristina had a
meltdown on the set of "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" and now the director
is defending her saying it NEVER happened. In fact, the show wrapped production
a long time ago. He told his Facebook fans today,
I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that
there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of "For Better Or
Worse". NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off
the set because we have finished taping the season.
After Whitney's funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time
talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I
decided to write her into "For Better Or Worse". I thought that there would be
no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her
something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother's death is
that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust,
so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people
that care.
Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of
the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just
lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know
grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or
how it's going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you're smiling and happy
and some days you’re so broken that you can't stop crying. So yes she was
grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great
job at the same time.
So please... PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A
BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and
grieve.
IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULDN’T YOU WANT THAT?
-Tyler….Well....that sums that up.
New Couple Alert: Angela Simmons and Romeo Miller

Romeo’.

restaurant in West Hollywood. And this isn’t the first time that the rumored
couple have been spotted out together. Last week, the two enjoyed dinner
together while out with close friends at the Cheese Cake factory.

hooking up Rita Ora with Rob Kardashian and Rob Kardashian was courting Angela
Simmons at some point last year.

Report: DJ AfroJack Dumps Paris Hilton
The realm of celebrity romance is a tricky place, and Paris
Hilton has been sent packing by her boyfriend DJ AfroJack.
According to a report, the couple dated for six months before
AfroJack decided he needed to regain his freedom. Hence, he dumped the “Simple
Life” starlet.
An insider told press, "Afrojack had moved into Paris' Beverly
Hills mansion earlier this year, and the two got very serious, very
fast."
"Paris was really into him and admires the work he has done.
Afrojack did a lot of the work on Paris' new album which will be released later
this year. He took a lot of criticism for working with her, but he truly does
believe that she has talent. Paris was smitten with him, but Afrojack just
wanted to have fun and not be exclusive with anyone. He is on the road
practically every day performing in clubs all over the world, and he just isn't
ready to settle down, whereas Paris is."
As for her new album, "Paris has been working with Flo Rida,
LMFAO and David Guetta, and the album should be released this summer," added the
source.
"Paris hopes to embark on a European concert tour to promote
the album, which will consist of house music. She knows she has a lot riding on
this project because her last reality show was canceled and she needs to do
something to re-invent herself. Paris is hoping to appeal to a broader fan base
and would love to use the album as a platform for a possible project with MTV.
Yes, Paris is a very successful businesswoman, and she is about to release her
fifteenth fragrance, but that isn't enough for her. Paris craves the attention
from the media and her fans and she is truly feeling the pressure to deliver on
this, because she doesn't have any other television or movie projects lined
up."
Ray J. Sued For Missing Apparel
Ray J continues to feel the affects of Whitney Houston’s
death. This time in the wallet, however, as opposed to the heart. Here is the
story: Stylist Marc Littlejohn had allegedly sued Ray J for not returning
clothing items given to him to wear to a Grammy-related event on February 10th.
The problem? Those items were supposedly left in the hotel room where Whitney
Houston died and according to the lawsuit, have been missing since the day this
singer passed away. Marc Littlejohn therefore was suing Ray J for the cost of
the clothing ($2,880) and demanding either the cash amount or the duds
themselves. But now Ray J’s rep say the mystery of the missing clothes has been
solved.
Last night when one of Whitney Houston’s associates handed the
clothes over to Ray J. Sources tell us the items were taken from Whitney’s room
along with the rest of her belongings. We’re told Whit’s people couldn’t get in
touch with Ray J because he changed his phone number. The pricey fabrics include
two suits and one jacket.
Tia Mowry Covers VIBE Vixen Magazine
Tia Mowry Is Front And Center On This Month’s Vibe Vixen,
Talks Being An Author, “The Game, and more.
Here’s what the actress had to share:
On the book: “I’ve always wanted to write. Actually in college
that’s what I kind of excelled at. I loved just putting all my thoughts together
and jotting them down and basically doing research and all that kind of stuff,
and I always wanted to write books. You know how you always had a vision? Well
writing a book was always my vision, I just didn’t know what kind of book I was
going to write.”
On if her son Cree wanted to be in the show biz: “You know,
it’s inevitable because his dad’s an actor, his mom’s an actress. I’m just
telling you, I just looked at some pictures where we just did this photo shoot
and he is just smiling and cheesing away in this picture [laughs], it’s great!
So to deprive him of something that he really wants to do would just hurt my
heart, but he has one ultimatum: he has to go to college, finish and have an
education, then after that he can do whatever he wants.”
On Fan Reactions to Changes To “The Game”:
I basically agree with them. I do think the show is different
and it’s taken a new turn, but it’s not a new show. It is more from a drama
perspective now and these last few episodes have been amazing. It’s almost like
you are watching a mini-movie, and for the fans that watched it from the
beginning, they can’t adjust well to the difference, but new fans love it
because it’s a real show. I have to appreciate that these characters are real
and they come from a realistic perspective. We talk about topics that a lot of
people don’t want to talk about.
On Where She see Herself Years From Now:
I want to be an entrepreneur especially in the baby world and
with my sister. I want to build a brand from scratch and focus on it, whether
it’s building a television show for positive women of color, movies and building
a brand with my ‘mommy-hood.’ I would love to do more books and continue to come
out with products that inspire women to be amazing moms and give them amazing
advice. But I also love to act. I like to give myself a challenge. A lot of
people didn’t think I could be this character on The Game coming from Sister
Sister, so now I would like to even raise that bar and try to book a drama,
whether that’s me being a doctor, lawyer or cop, so that’s my next thing that I
definitely want to do. I want to continue to build my brand, continue to act and
build my brand as a unit with my sister.

You'll Never See Stephanie Mills on Unsung
TV One's UnSung is where all your old school favorites go to
spill the tea on why they never quite made it as far as they should
have.
Stephanie Mills says 'unsung' is a label that doesn't apply to
her...
Stephanie Mills says UnSung's producers have been begging her
to let them profile her but she keeps refusing telling Huffington Post,
"I
don't like that show... They have approached me quite a few times, but I [won't]
do that show... I've always been very private and at 55 I don't want to open up
my life to that... They've done Angela Winbush and they even wanted me to say
something about her on that show, and I love Angela, we're sisters. But I had to
tell her, 'I don't want to do that.' ... I'm not that girl... I don't want to
get on these shows and open my life up; I don't think it's anyone's business...
Let me sing, let me do my concerts, let me do music."
"I don't feel unsung...
I feel like I've had a wonderful career. I've done wonderful things and met some
many wonderful different people. So I don't feel like I'm unsung at all... They
even called my agent and tried to offer me some kind of tour if I did the show,
and I was like, 'I can't do it'... It [goes against] everything that I believe
in."
Meagan Good Defends Her Vegas Burlesque
Before most weddings, the bride-to-be gathers up her friends
for a special ‘let’s get this last official wild girls night in before I tie the
knot’ type of party and actress Meagan Good is definitely no different. This
past weekend, she opted to throw her bachelorette party in Vegas, complete with
a burlesque dance with the PussyCat Dolls but her party didn’t come without
criticism.
After photos hit the net, Meagan was slammed for her decision
to do a Vegas dance being that she was marrying a pastor, however, she didn’t
let it slide. She took to her twitter and responded:
Let’s get something
straight … I wasn’t half naked last night … I was actually very covered up, not
showing anymore than I show when I dress up to go to events .,,and let’s get
something else straight .. I’m an actress ., there will be many things narrow
minded people deem unholy or not 1st lady like … But this is not so..it’s about
your relationship with God and your personal convictions …
If you see footage, you will see I was covered up having fun
dancing and enjoying my self with my friends and family and absolutely not doing
a striptease …smh people are ridiculous .. Can’t a girl enjoy her bachelorette
party in peace?

The "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" Folks Film At Pearl Bistro
Oh, we see how this show will be. ATL's LAHH cast filmed at
Pearl Bistro nightclub (which many ATL folks tell us this signifies a very small
budget) recently. Apparently they were all on hand to celebrate Scrappy's
release of his mixtape, Full Metal Jacket 2. He also performed a track off his
upcoming album (The Grustle) that features co-star Rasheeda called "Shawty
Sprung." Oh joy.
The folks over at ATL Nightspots snapped these pics and video
below:
Rapper Rasheeda and her girls kicked it.
Scrappy's mama, Mama D, just looks like she's about to give
Jim Jones' mama Nancy a run for her money in the foolery department.

Dennis Rodman Sentenced To Community Service In Child Support
Case
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman might soon find himself working
with at-risk teens or cleaning up streets. The flamboyant former player known
for his rebounding skills and wild, off-court behavior was sentenced Tuesday to
104 hours of community service after being found guilty last year of four counts
of contempt for failing to pay child support. The ruling also placed Dennis, on
three years of informal probation on the condition he keep up his child and
spousal support payments. It was the latest development in a series of legal
disputes that began in 2004, when Dennis’ wife at the time filed for
divorce.
Orange County Superior Court Commissioner Barry Michaelson
urged Dennis – who wore a black button down shirt and jeans to the family court
hearing – to put his basketball skills to good use in his service. ”My
suggestion is to use your talents as a motivator, as a fine athlete and as a
fine person to assist others in need,” Michaelson said. Dennis still faces
additional contempt charges and is accused of owing back child support in an
amount that attorneys for Michelle Rodman, his ex-wife, say exceeds
$800,000.
The towering Dennis, who sports face jewelry, said he would do
whatever community service was required near his home in Florida, possibly
working with children. ”It’s all about the kids,” Dennis said of the ex-couple’s
two children, after the hearing. ”It does suck the fact that it had to come to
this.” Dennis was found guilty by a judge of the four counts of contempt
involving child support owed in 2009 and 2010.
Rihanna Has ‘Found Love’ With NBA Baller J.R. Smith From New York
Knicks?
“We Found Love” singer Rihanna has found another bad boy, this
time it’s with NBA baller J.R.Smith from the New York Knicks. Over the weekend
they were seen together again. On Sunday, May 28, the singer and the New York
Knicks’ star were spotted partying in Miami.According to New York Daily News,
quoting a source, the two were “definitely hanging out” at LIV nightclub in the
Fontainebleau Hotel.
They stayed until the early hours.
The news
comes just days after Smith was arrested on Thursday, May 24, in Miami Beach on
an outstanding bench warrant for driving without a valid license. The was
released the next day. It looks like Smith is no stranger when it comes to law
issues. In 2007, he served a month in jail for his reckless driving that claimed
the life of his passenger and good friend, Andre Bell. Recently he was requested
to pay $25,000 in fine by NBA for posting on Twitter a picture of a woman’s
naked derriere.
Do you think of these two dating?
Warren Sapp to release book in August stories about Keyshawn
Johnson, Trent Dilfer & Brad Culpepper
I will say this about Warren Sapp. He saw the flashing signs
of what was to come and he got a plan in place QUICKLY! Can’t be mad at his
hustle. Sapp has a book schedule to be released this August entitled, “Sapp
Attack”.
Of course the always outspoken Sapp is pulling no punches so
expect a few juicy behind the scenes tales:
Sapp shares his views on his coaches and teammates, telling it
like he sees it. Sapp says he chose to play college football at Miami over
Florida State in part because coach Bobby Bowden referred to one of his other
players as a “fat ass.” Sapp says that his first NFL coach, Sam Wyche, tried to
motivate “by making snide comments, by belittling people.” Sapp says that “Tony
Dungy put the damn cake in the oven, and then Jon Gruden came in and put the
icing on it.”
Sapp’s views on the men he played with include outing former
Bucs defensive tackle Brad Culpepper for cheating. Sapp claims that Culpepper,
now a lawyer and one of the many former players suing the NFL for concussions,
used silicone to make it harder to be held. “Now that [Culpepper] also is
retired, I’ll confess for him that he was one of the people who did that,” Sapp
writes. “He practically bathed in silicone before a game. Trust me, if he had
ever tried to hug his wife before a game, she would have slipped right out of
his arms and gone straight up in the air.”
Other nuggets include his problems with former teammate,
Keyshawn Johnson who he won a Super Bowl ring with
“Among the biggest problems we had on that 2003 team was
Keyshawn Johnson,” Sapp said. “It wasn’t a big secret Keyshawn didn’t fit into
our locker room: he came to us from a different football culture, and he never
could make the adjustment. Everything was about him.”
And current ESPN analyst, Trent Difler:
“Dilfer … basically was an interception waiting to happen.
There were times we practically pleaded with him, ‘We know you’re not going to
score a touchdown, but please, just don’t turn it over.’ “
Perhaps the book tour and subsequent pre
ss will help convince
the NFL network to renew his contract which also happens to be up in
August.
